Elementa's open-world detective RPG has carried three names in these stories: Shirogane no Shiro at Bilibili World 2026, Silver City through its pre-registration and beta campaign, and Silver Palace, the title under which it now has a worldwide release date. The project appears to be the same Victorian-city game with the detective protagonist and the Silver Liquid resource throughout; the stories do not explain the renamings.
The release plan grew as the campaign ran. The July stories describe a PC closed beta and a title planned for consoles, PC, and smartphones without pricing or timing. By August, pre-registrations had passed 10 million and the game was headed to gamescom 2026 in Cologne and Anime NYC 2026. On October 31, Elementa set a simultaneous worldwide launch for December 14, 2026 on PC, PS5, iOS, and Android, with pre-registration open on the official site and Unreal Engine 5 behind the anime-style graphics and combat built on real-time character switching, skill combinations, and coordinated attacks.
Elementa also has a second project. The smartphone game formerly called V Project is now StarToU, an idol game set in the near-future city of Hoshikawa, where a technology called Touch lets players share the idols' first-person perspective and emotions. Its new group MacGuffin (Tay, Yoora, Lim, Noki) belongs to the Rhythm Rebellion Label, while the trainees LEE, Near, and OCT belong to Scoop Culture. A closed beta is planned for some regions in the latter half of 2026.

All coverage
Oct 31
Elementa announced on October 31, 2026 that its open-world action RPG Silver Palace will launch simultaneously worldwide on December 14, 2026. The game is set in a large city modeled on the Victorian era, where a mysterious substance called Silver Liquid has driven rapid industrialization and set factions against each other over its rights. Players take the role of a detective working with a cast of companions to pursue clues and uncover conspiracies hidden behind the city's streets. Elementa develops Silver Palace on Unreal Engine 5, and the studio says the engine supports both anime-style graphics and free exploration of distinctive streetscapes and back alleys. Combat uses real-time character switching, skill combinations, and coordinated attacks. Pre-registration is open on the official website. Elementa also plans to exhibit Silver Palace at gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 and at South Korea's Anime X Game Festival 2026.
Sep 7
Elementa has opened global pre-registrations for Silver City, an open-world RPG for PC, PS5, iOS, and Android. Registration is available through the official website, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, App Store, and Google Play. The game ran a demo at gamescom 2026 and has completed two closed beta tests.
Aug 28
Elementa brought its in-development open-world action RPG Silver City to gamescom 2026 in Cologne, running from August 26 to 30. The booth featured a pumpkin carriage statue, character art, and playable demo stations for four characters. Marketing director Lucis spoke with 4Gamer.net on August 27 about what the studio learned from two closed PC beta tests and from watching European players. Lucis said European players reacted strongly to the worldbuilding, art style, and Victorian city atmosphere, while Asian players tended to focus more on characters and combat. Cinderella, who is also the final boss in the demo build, was the most popular character among players. The second test, the Dichotomy Test, ran from July 23 to August 13, following the Law of Identity Test that began January 13. Lucis said the team confirmed its direction matches player expectations, with positive feedback on combat and UI improvements, but also identified issues with camera work, hit effects, and guard and dodge feel. The release date, price, and monetization details remain undecided. The name for the next test is already chosen but not revealed.
Aug 20
Elementa announced on August 20, 2026 that the smartphone game previously known as V Project now has the official title StarToU. The immersive empathy 3D idol game is set in the near-future city of Hoshikawa, where a technology called Touch lets players share the first-person perspective and emotions of the idols. Alongside the title change, a new four-member idol group called MacGuffin was unveiled. The members are Tay, Yoora, Lim, and Noki, all over 180 cm tall, and the group focuses on hip-hop with a concept of rebellion against rules and pursuit of playfulness. They belong to the Rhythm Rebellion Label and operate as a self-produced group. MacGuffin contrasts with the three previously revealed trainees, LEE, Near, and OCT, who belong to the long-established agency Scoop Culture and have no group name yet. The game's systems include a rhythm game in the Music Space, where players cheer from the audience perspective, and the Star Notebook for tracking fan activities. A closed beta test is planned for some regions in the latter half of 2026, and pre-registration is open.

The game uses anime-style graphics in Unreal Engine 5, with combat centered on parrying and detective mechanics such as observation and deduction. The company also revealed its first exhibition at gamescom 2026, held in Cologne, Germany, at booth Hall 6 / C021. The booth will include a playable demo area, stage events held four times daily with live band and dance performances, and professional cosplayers appearing as characters including Detective, Cinderella, Fuu, Red Rose, Lauren, and Argus.

Jul 3
Singapore-based developer Elementa released a new gameplay PV for its upcoming urban fantasy open-world RPG 'Silver Palace' on July 3. The approximately three-minute video, set in the Victorian-style metropolis Sylvania, centers on a dialogue between the female detective protagonist and a mysterious figure called Red Rose. It shows exploration, investigation and deduction systems, parry-based action combat, a story that switches between male and female protagonist perspectives, and cooperative scenes with other characters. Life elements visible in the PV include walking around town, traveling by silver pegasus, using public transportation, visiting pawn shops, and playing board games. The music is a modern reconstruction of classical music. At the same time, Elementa is recruiting participants for the second closed beta test, named the 'Dichotomy Test', for PC (Windows). The application period runs until July 17 at 0:59. Selection is by lottery; applicants must fill out a recruitment questionnaire on the official website. The game is built with Unreal Engine 5 and is planned for release on consoles, PC, and smartphones, though pricing and release timing have not been announced.
